Income statement
Several filter options are available for the income statement «Plus».
Period ①
Here you can select the exact period for which you want the income statement to be created. By default, you can select a fiscal year, YTD (beginning of the year to the current date) or you can define your own period (e.g. quarter).
Reference period ②
The reference period can be used optionally. Here too, you can choose between a fiscal year, YTD and an individual period. To display the comparison data, select the “Show reference period” checkbox.
The reference period allows you to view how your current fiscal year compares to the previous fiscal year. You can display the differences under “Changes in %”. If you also want to display the differences in figures, you can use the “Change as amount” display option in the «Plus» income statement.
Account level to be displayed ③
The account level filter provides an even more flexible analysis of the 5-level income statement. You can restrict the display to a specific account level and analyze the corresponding account groups in detail, with or without displaying the associated accounts.
Show 0 accounts ④
This filter allows you to display or hide all accounts and account groups with 0-values. This helps you to focus on the accounts with postings and provides a more streamlined presentation of the income statement.
Show all account groups ⑤
By selecting this checkbox, you can display or hide third-level account groups. The income statement can thus be displayed more or less granularly, either only up to the second account group or including the third account group.
Export ⑥
The income statement can be downloaded in PDF or Excel format. Any filters you have used are applied automatically during export.
5-level income statement
bexio presents your income statement with the new reports under "Early Access" in 5 levels. This allows you to easily read the most important key figures.
| Gross profit |
Gross profit is one of the most important key figures, especially for trading companies.
|
| EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) | EBITDA is an important key figure in terms of whether a company’s operating activities cover all costs incurred and shows whether there is a functioning business activity. |
| EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) | EBIT is used to show the operating result regardless of the amount of taxes and the form of financing used. This key figure has now also become standard for SMEs. |
Balance sheet
Several filter options are available for the balance sheet «Plus».
Balance sheet per ①
Here you can select as of which key date the balance sheet data should be displayed. If you select the end of a fiscal year, the entire fiscal year will be taken into account. However, the balance sheet can also be created on any date during a fiscal year. In this case, the balance sheet includes all data from the beginning of the fiscal year to the selected date.
Comparative data as of ②
The “Comparative data as of” filter can be used optionally. Here too, you can select an individual closing date. To display comparative data, select the “Show comparative data” checkbox.
The comparison period allows you to compare your current fiscal year with the same closing date of the previous fiscal year and to analyze how your business is performing. You can display the differences under “Changes in %”. If you also want to display the differences in figures, use the “Change as amount” display option in the «Plus» balance sheet.
Account level to be displayed ③
For a more detailed analysis, you can display the assets or liabilities individually and focus the analysis on this level.
Show 0 accounts ④
Use this filter to display or hide all accounts and account groups with 0-values. This helps you to focus on the accounts with postings and provides a more streamlined presentation of the balance sheet.
Show all account groups ⑤
By selecting this checkbox, you can display or hide third-level account groups. The balance sheet can thus be displayed more or less granularly, either only up to the second account group or including the third account group.
Export ⑥
Balance sheets can be downloaded as PDF or Excel files. Any filters you have used are applied automatically during export.
New calculation formula
